What gets me about these performances in authentic style is the clarity of the music! Without an 80- or 90-piece orchestra, and the thick tone of modern instruments, this music is like a fine silk fabric, beautifully woven and very gentle to the touch, and not like a thick wool blanket that smothers you and cuts you off from the outside world.
Had to miss V of M concert last night and lo, hardly 24 hrs later, I'm enjoying this performance as if I'd been there. It's amazing what these people do, how dedicated they are, how visibly attuned (yes) they are to one another--not to mention the historical authenticity of their instruments and playing style and the lavish magnificence of the sound they produce. Their concerts offer some of the liveliest musical experience to be found anywhere. And their chosen technicians succeed with each video in capturing the marvel, the joyous spirit, that characterize every concert they give. Truly impressive.
Amazing acoustic sound! Another remarkable performance by the talented artists of the V of M. The empathy and spiritual harmony between these artists is impressive. The instrumentation used in this performance gives an added symmetry and sublime melodic sound.
Merry Christmas! I watched your recorder video 3 months ago and decided to learn this instrument. It has been two months since I started playing it. Maybe next year I will teach our children in church how to play . I really like this instrument. Thank you!
haahah you actually never know what to expect from Hanneke! hahaha harpsichordist, conductor, recorder player, composer... one day hopefully she’ll sing for us 😂 by the way sorry for responding your comment that is 2 years old, I hope everything is going well in your life during these hard times, cheers!
1600-1750,Barocco music a gift of hundreds and hundreds italian compositors made all over the world,and all must be grateful,nothing against whit the germany,austria,france, music that have copied all from italy.

Did you have access to an engraved score of this work? The only sheet music I found on the internet are the handwritten parts on IMSLP, but they seem to be somewhat hard to read (accidentals, and rests especially)? Also, thanks for releasing this beautiful concerto. You motivated me to pick up and play my recorder again after 18 years
We made our own edition from the manuscript--there's a number of small errors in the original, but the solo part is pretty much the same. We will put the edition online at some point, but we have a big backlog right now, so it's hard to say when....
There were some large groups that used timekeepers, but in a very different way than conductors. Lully is certainly an interesting case, there's no real evidence except for some iconography, but in any case the timekeeper did not beat during the orchestral numbers and actually beat audibly (tapping, not conducting) during the choruses. There was no conducting in the way it is now done, since that was invented in the 19th century. If you look at this engraving of Lully's Alceste, you can zoom in and see a lot of details.. Some of the violinists, especially far right, appear to be acting as a leader but of course it is a static engraving. In this engraving, you can see that for large productions there probably was some sort of direction necessary, but the time keeper may have even been a different person than the director or the first violin. You can see in this case the large divide in the orchestra in this particular scene. collections.artsmia.org/art/76097/the-fetes-of-1674-first-day-the-performance-of-jean-baptiste-lullys-opera-alceste-in-the-marble-court-jean-le-pautre You can zoom in, in this particular, high resolution image.
Since I usually have nothing but praise for you guys I thought I might be allowed to point out that IMO the tuning isn't quite as crystal clean as it always is otherwise. Someone in the violin section is a little bit off.

The audio quality is insane. Better than listening at the Barbican.

The elegance, the softness, even the gentleness of Hanneke's playing is astounding! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much!
Grandes músicos, grandes personas y maravillosas melodías ejecutadas por enormes maestros. Muchas gracias
Incredible sound and musicianship, as always. Thank you.
Our pleasure!

At first i though Hanneke was going to sing for us. I didn't notice the recorder right away.
You never know....

Hi, please give to the world the score 😢
So good. Hmm. The bass player didn't get a credit?
Farley Pearce, violone...it's in the description, but we left it off the end credits :(
Hmmmm, wasn't Lully a conductor when he served under king Louis XIV? It was different, but he kept time for musicians.
